and along the margin, the upper ones meeting in loops; transverse 
nervules irregular, branched, enclosing the rather widely netted 
reticulation ; petiole stout, 1°5—3 cm. long, the upper part bordered 
by the decurrent margins of the blade. Flowers in umbellules on 
slender glabrous 4—6 mm. long peduncles in slender axillary racemes 
2—5 cm. long; rhachis glabrous, angular, nearly black; involucral

including the somewhat flattened peduncle 15 mm. in diameter, the 
margin undulate; pericarp spotted when fresh, rugose when dry.
